Because demand is low, because tumblr is still pretty good?
Tumblr was awful for Discourse™️, there are some legendary headass takes originating from there. A lot of those people moved to Twitter after the Tumblr porn ban, and it slowly has gotten less insufferable.
I'm really surprised that people don't make the connection that Twitter Discourse™️ is Tumblr Discourse™️ but short form. I genuinely think Twitter got magnitudes worse after the Tumblr migration, especially if you're on the music/media/fandom side.
I don't find it really good for that now, either. It's fun for just blasting out random thoughts and forgetting about it as well as mindlessly looking at others; but actually trying to communicate on that site is awful.
This right here is easier, more intuitive, etc.
The height of irony that Tumblr is better than Twitter at what Twitter was originally designed for.
Base.
Fair enough, any site can take a dark turn tho
They kept trying to push inane video short things for awhile, but everyone in tumblr fucking haaaated it so much they shut that down after a few months. They try to make the site worse, everyone revolts.
It wasn't the only controversy, and I'm not even much a Tumblr user that would know its history.
But it hasn't really enshittified like other social media.
